If we want to fix the issue fully, we would need either:

1/ To read the hbm file to list the custom mapped classes and then
apply custom mapping whenever the class is in the list
2/ To list the custom mapped classes in the configuration and do the same thing

As for a copy of XWikiPreferences, I'm not sure why the custom mapping
is not applied. Is the class of the object changing to another class
name ? Because if it's not the custom mapping should work.
